Abstract:

AbstractThe first part of the article presents three little arguments from theism to idealism. The second part employs these arguments to make sense of a puzzling doctrine of Jewish mysticism: the doctrine of divine contraction (Heb. tzimtzum).

Abstract:

The paper presents some common motifs of two thinkers who, despite a historical gap of several hundred years, had common roots in the tradition of Judaism. The notion of the Encounter, as analysed by Emmanuel Levinas, and the cosmogonic process of Creation in Isaac Luria’s system of thought have a common motif in the phenomenon of the socalled “contraction” (Hebrew: tzimtzum). Despite the fact that for the first thinker it is the domain of ethics and for the second the domain of ontology, the act of a certain “self-limitation” or “withdrawal” plays in both cases a foundational role.

Abstract:

Habermas’s translation proviso aims to legitimize religious argumentation in the informal part of the public sphere while requiring religious citizens to express their arguments in the formal part of the public sphere using a universal (secular) language. By considering secular scholars Gonzalo Scivoletto’s and Javier Aguirre’s critiques of the meaning of “translation,” this article highlights the inconsistency of the proviso as manifested in its application to the religious concept of tzimtzum (“divine contraction”), from which Habermas attempts to extract a secular worldview and moral intuit

Abstract:

No começo, diz a Cabala luriânica, só existia o Criador; sua presença enchia o universo, mas por um processo de concentração, de retração (tzimtzum, em hebraico), permitiu o surgimento do universo. Foi criado então o homem primordial, Adam Kadmon. Dele, saíam raios de luz divina que deveriam reencher vasos ou recipientes que, contudo, se partiram. É necessário, então, um processo de restauração (tikun). Da mesma forma, quando o Adão bíblico foi criado, continha em si todas as almas; com o pecado, elas se dispersaram, ficando em cativeiro nos corpos humanos, mas ansiosas por retornas à fonte. É

Abstract:

<strong>Abstract</strong> This paper examines how the philosophical tension between epistemology and ontology shapes the discourse on pantheism versus transcendence in Jewish mystical thought. By analyzing the works of contemporary scholars including Elliot Wolfson, Jonathan Garb, Amos Funkenstein, Rachel Elior, Ada Rapoport-Albert, Immanuel Etkes, Moshe Idel, and Eli Rubin, this study positions their interpretations within broader philosophical frameworks established by Kant and Hegel. The paper argues that Jewish mystical approaches to divine immanence and transcendence represent a unique ph

Abstract:

The article proves that the philosophical system of L.P. Karsavin has a number of concepts borrowed from Kabbalah as a basis. Karsavin describes the relationship between God and the world in accordance with the concept of tzimtzum, according to which God limited himself in a certain sphere in order to give place to created being. Karsavin's concept of evil and his idea of Adam Kadmon as the original integral, divine state of man also have Kabbalistic origins. The article expresses the conviction that the use of Kabbalistic ideas does not contradict Karsavin's statements about the Christian nat

Abstract:

This paper explores the theological concept of divine concealment across diverse mystical traditions, examining how the metaphors of mirrors and veils articulate the paradoxical hiding and revealing of the divine. Drawing from Kabbalistic notions of tzimtzum, Rebbe Nachman's "double concealment," Meister Eckhart's hidden Godhead, Simone Weil's theology of absence, and Henry Corbin's imaginal realm, we argue that divine hiddenness functions not as abandonment but as a profound mode of relationship. The study demonstrates how these traditions converge in understanding concealment as the necessar

Abstract:

One could go so far as to say that the <em>h</em> is nothing other than the spirit of every letter: there is no sound that is not born and dies in aspiration, which is why it seems so closely related to the very act of breathing. A poet who had removed it from his name, Paul Celan, recognised poetry as «the trace that our breath leaves in the tongue». A Romanian of Jewish origin, Celan must have been very familiar with the <em>Kabbalah</em> and the account of creation. According to Jewish mysticism, God created the world by holding his breath, through the act of

The paper argues that effective therapeutic practice requires practitioners to navigate their own inner spiritual conflicts in order to create authentic healing spaces for pati

Abstract:

This essay explores one of the most profound questions in Jewish mysticism: how deeply does the dialectical interaction between Chesed (loving-kindness) and Gevurah (judgment) penetrate into the very source of divine creativity the Ein Sof and the process of tzimtzum? Through examining classical Kabbalistic sources, Chabad thought as articulated by contemporary scholar Eli Rubin and the systematic teachings of Rabbi Shalom Dovber Schneersohn (the Rebbe Rashab), alongside heretical works including Veavo Hayom el HaAyin and Jonathan Eybeschutz’s radical theology, this study reveals fundamentally

Abstract:

This work proposes a revolutionary therapeutic framework that integrates Carl Jung’s shadow psychology with both orthodox and heretical streams of Kabbalistic thought to address the fundamental presence of evil and suffering in illness and existence. Drawing upon the scholarship of modern scholars, this study demonstrates how Jung’s recognition that Kabbalistic writings “anticipated my entire psychology” opens pathways for therapeutic approaches that can hold the tension between light and dark, creation and destruction, presence and absence. The theoretical foundation rests upon the Lurianic K
